Really good patch and nice rp but blacksmithing doesn't really make sense. If your a master blacksmith maybe once in a while you mess up a sword but not like 5-6 times same things with armor. I hope that blacksmithing changes as a lot of resources are going to be wasted, and with not much rp sense. I understand that this patch is supposed to make rp better but I just feel like this is going too far to a point.

*Gideon walks into the main city of Arethor as he places a large parchment at the top of the city notice board for everyone to see* "As of late I have been overhauling the knights with problems and things that have come up in the past few weeks or so. With this I shall present Oren and it's people with an updated list of the Knights and the only people who have been gifted and retain the current title of Ser of greater then so: Knight Errands- Ser Aren of House Whitestorm ((Tyber1231)), , Ser Martin of House Loyala ((martinvilla822)), Ser Aradir of House Soulblade ((snakeyeees)), and Ser Ace of House Soulblade ((mg_savior)). Knight- Athirius the Shield of House Owl ((Alzaan)), Knight Seneschal- Ser Patrek the Young of House Olyvarr ((ayresalex)) and Ser Charles the Hunter of House Grayman ((Rurikk)) Knight Sergeant- Arthur the Silvertounge of House Python- Leader of Anvil Path ((h8pvmnt)) Knight Lt- Great Ser Uthor the Steadfast of House SIlverblade ((Jroy96)), Great Ser Harrion the Righteous of House Elendil ((TMGMaXdAmAgE Knight Commander- Noble Ser Gideon the Lionheart of House Silverblade ((Burkester)) If anyone in the city has any questions about the knights or would like to many reports about there actions feel free to contact myself or Uthor. Those who wish to take up the journey of becoming a knight make sure to start up with the Pages and come up from there. Also to all knights, we shall be having a meeting at the Main Keep of Arethor in two elven days and I hope you all will be able to attend with your pages, lances, and squires as well. -Gideon Silverblade *He looks up at the post as he nods to himself and walks away to prepare for the meeting* ((The meeting will be held on the forums for a few days, so no you will not need to be online that day just try to stay active on the forums- Thank you))

*Reads both applications rather quickly and places a note back up* Sarim and Johnson you have both been accepted please seek out myself or Uthor ((Burkester- Jroy96)) as soon as you can. -Gideon Silverblade

((Any race can apply))

((Lorethos we got yo back))

((Please refrain from ooc))

*after being notified by Braxis he returns rather quickly and comes to speak with him:* "From what Braxis told me about your situation after thinking quite a bit, this would make you a bannerman. If one is a knight of a house it merely means that you are a special bannerman and as of right now you are still considered to be a commoner. You may speak with me or Uthor if you wish to become a true night with the title of "Ser" or anything else we could answer questions on." *takes a few steps back as he waits for any questions that the man might have*

((Might want to edit it your post Frostz - Gideon not Burkester)) *turns his head to the new man who has begun to speak. Gideon thinks for a few moments and remembers speaking with Aldrin at the Tourney just after he had been knighted. He then nods to Uthor* "Aldrin is indeed a knight and as he has previously said he shall be added under Knight Errand. I am glad that we are getting some good new strong willed lads, I see good things in that boy Uthor. Right now I shall go speak with him, Farewell. *Gideon walks out of the room as he begins to look for Aldrin*

*A page runs up to Gideon, handing him the letter, as he reads he smiles and says:* "Page make a notice that I wish for all knights to take part in the event, when the time does come." *The page nods and runs off notifying every night that participation is needed. Gideon then walks off as he begins to decide as to what mask he shall wear to the Ball.*

((Burkester thinks that he wants some of that Panda))

I'm so scared Tarus.

*A page and servant walk up to the main fountain of Arethor as they begin to call fourth a crowd of people around them. The page steps foward and begins to read off of a piece of a scroll to bring news to the people of the Grand Tourney* "Men who have taken part in the tournament, those who have came to watch, and to all those who were not able to attend. I bring news that the first part of the grand tourney has come to and end the winner being; Knight Commander Gideon Silverblade. The rest of the tournament shall take place at a future time as this portion had taken longer then planned. His Majesty Godfrey shall make an announcement as to when the other part of the tourney shall take place. Stay tuned and I hope you all shall attend the rest of the tourney to earn prices, have fun, and watch as the knight and nobles test there strength and power against each other." *The page rolls up the scroll and hands it to the servant standing next to him. As the crown begins to ware off they walk off to tell the king that they have made the announcement to the people*

*smiles to himself as he hears the words of the foolish High Princess, speaking ever so calmly which should not have been the case. The hooded man turns away as he begins to walk down the large staircase to the boats as he begins to plan his rebellion again the government of Malinor.*

No problem, if you are in need of any other assistance feel free to pop me a pm.

((To tell the truth I do not know why you are blaming Mogroka for this in any way shape or form. The admins of the server, including Mogroka, are merely trying to strengthen the roleplay experience of us (the players). You may complain about all the changed but when the players and split half and half on if they like or hate something it is very hard for one person to decide on what to do. People had both loved and hated the undead, everyone having many different opinions about them. When we were in Aegis there was hardly any nation to nation roleplay, it had always been nation to antagonist. With the change to Ausulon that did not include the undead there had been a significant increase in nation to nation conflict which actually made roleplay come easier and in most circumstances brought more enjoyable roleplay for the average player. After a while from the start of Ausulon players who were mostly not apart of nations began to complain about the lack of roleplay due to nations being much more spread out then they were in Aegis. At the same time there had been ideas about adding another antagonist different then that of the undead. As you know especially, from making the lore, the Blood Mages were created. You might complain about the fact that he took them away so quickly, but from what I personally have heard and read many people did not enjoy the roleplay that the blood mages brought. The main problem of this most likely being that they were 'not' as good as the undead. These new antagonists were not as involved in everyday roleplay then those of the old undead who you could perhaps see just walking down the road. It has been and is going to be very difficult to find the perfect combination of Antagonist Roleplay and Nation Roleplay, which Mogroka is attempting to find the perfect combination for. In my opinion I hope that we can find what we will stick with soon as these large changes have been very hard on people. You should especially know this, creating a lore for months and having it thrown away. I just feel that we should not smite and talk harshly of those who are trying so dearly to improve our roleplay experience. I hope you understand how I feel, and I would also like to thank Mogroka for all the work he has done for us.))

*a hooded man walks off of the boat of Malinor as he begins to journey up the stairs. He stops as he glances up at the large tree most likely standing in the center of the city. As he turns he begins to let out loud yells, attempting to get people to form a crowd around him. Beginning to do so he starts to speak to this crowd in a deep and rampant voice: Brother and Sisters it has come to my attention that for too long we have stood in the shadow of this new land. We stand here, a nation once strong and mighty, being attacked weekly by bandits without any defense. I have seen those of elven blood being killed and tortured in their own land and homes. We should not have a feeling of fright as we step out of our homes to go out for a days work and travel. In the past we had been a strong power that was looked at with respect and at times feared by those enemies that stood at our door step. Now we are viewed at as weak, powerless, and unable to defend ourselves. Our race is viewed upon just as our nation that we live in is. But, we are still looked down upon for what our 'government' has given us the image of. I believe that we need to change our ways and return to our rightful spot as the true nation of the Elves. The High elves, those of the same race as us, are currently threatened and endangered by the brutish orcs. Although they may live in a different city then us and do not share the same blood as us, we cannot leave them alone in their greatest time of need. How might we not know that the orcs shall attack us next? That we will not be murdered and slaughtered by these horrible monsters? We stand here defenseless and cannot even lend enough aid to the high elves to halt their destruction. Once the orcs have taken the high elves it is almost inevitable for them to eventually come for us. In years or months we might see Malinor turn into that of a battlefield and at that time we will most likely yet again not be able to defend ourselves. We need to act now, and not let our nation slowly die out. If we need to overthrow our current high princess just for our own preservation, then we must. It is not an ideal theory for us to get rid of our current nation leaders to be removed, but they need to change. As our streets stand defenseless so do the true elves of Malinor. Our goal must be to unite and bring back Malinor as it was in Aegis. Yet, we need to keep our goals in mind and not fail like the Orcs who became selfish and eventually just wanted power. All we need is to be able to defend ourselves! We need to be able to defend ourselves in every circumstance that arises! From this day forth the elves must be viewed as a force to be reckon with! *the hooded man steps down as he quickly scurries through the crowd, hiding within it waiting for what the people have to say*

((Really enjoyed reading about your character, looking forward to more))

After reading your application I find it to be actually very well written and I could feel as if this story could show up as a roleplay scenario on the Server itself. Obviously, this is a great length then an application to the server that is usually accepted onto the server. Just a small hint; most orcs of the orc nation usually have villain applications due to the fact that they are not like the average race. You might want to look in advance in the villain application part of the forums and form a smaller bio which can be used for the server and a larger one to submit and attempt to create into a villain application.

Very good job skippy, keep up the good work.
